This is the knit cap with a foldaway detachable beard that evokes the hirsute virility of mountain men while engaging in winter tasks. Ideal for chopping wood, building a cabin, or shoveling snow, it is made from soft 100% acrylic yarn into a tight weave that refuses to even acknowledge the cold, let alone allow it to gain purchase against one's skin—whether clean-shaven or not. Though comfortable and soft, the beard imparts a machismo only the most confident can exude, adjusting in length with hook-and-loop fasteners inside the cap's interior. When a more respectable bearing is required, the beard can be folded into the cap or detached completely. Black. One size fits most. (3 oz.)

In NeonXSZ (pronounced Neon Excesses) you are injected into cyberspace to stake your place in a war of virus verses machine. During your journey you will fly dozens of spaceships with hundreds of upgrades allowing you to create totally unique spacecraft with which to wage war. Will you protect the operating system or join the infection to bring it down?
NeonXSZ is our little homage to Descent combined with the frenetic adrenaline pumping feel and gameplay mechanics of Quake. Then add Diablo's loot explosions, rpg elements, leveling up, procedurally generated environments and enemies. Finish it all off with truly open-world gameplay inside a micro ecosystem of up to one thousand unique little AI dudes buzzing around getting into fights and doing their own thing.
In NeonXSZ, gamespeed, enemy damage and enemy intelligence are all customizable to suit everyone from a complete novice through to the most elite hardcore 6DoF veteran. You can even customize the look of the game itself.
Latest Trailer (1080p YouTube Link)
Yesterday we released this unusual one minute long 'Video Screenshot' to highlight the latest updates to the environmental details.
New Update Sneak Peek - Video Screenshot (1080p YouTube Link)
Free Demo (PC/Mac/Linux32/Linux64 all available)
If you would like to see NeonXSZ on IndieGameStand please let me know, and if you have any questions fire away. The game already offers well in excess of thirty hours of polished gameplay but is expected to exceed one hundred hours before completion. This is why it is still classed as an alpha at this stage of development.

Washington AG to have full-time open gov't ombudsman
Washington state's attorney general is hiring a new open government ombudsman who will do the work full time.
Attorney General Bob Ferguson says he is investing in the full-time position in the interest of promoting open, transparent government. The assistant attorney general in the position is tasked with answering questions about open government issues and helping resolve disputes.
The position created in 2005 was moved to a half-time role in 2011 due to budget challenges. Former ombudsman Tim Ford left the position recently to work for a Senate committee.

This morning, Hurricane Dean slammed into Mexico's Yucatan peninsula with sustained winds of 165 mph and gusts of 200 mph. The eye of the storm is just north of the Mexico-Belize border, passing south of the resort areas of Cancun, Cozumel, and the Riviera Maya. These resort areas were spared the brunt of the storm but may see beach erosion and other damage from powerful waves.
The Category 5 storm, the first hurricane for the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season, wreaked havoc on Jamaica, sweeping close to its southern shore on Sunday evening. The Cayman Islands, however, only saw 50 mph winds, as the stormed passed to the south before heading toward the Yucatan.
Last week the storm pounded Dominica, St. Lucia, Martinique, and other Eastern Caribbean islands as a Category 4 event. Damage in St. Lucia was relatively minimal, according to the St. Lucia Tourist Board, and included uprooted trees, downed power lines, and hotel pools full of sand and branches. The roof of the children's ward at the Victoria Hospital was blown off, but no one was hurt as all children had been evacuated to another part of the hospital. Currently, no hotels have reported major damage, and airports remain closed. In addition, two landslides have suspended access between the north and south of the island.
Jamaica's damage, however, is more severe, with roads blocked by fallen trees, flooding in the eastern part of the island, and power outages. In preparation for the storm, Jamaica's airports were shut and people flocked to more than 1,000 shelters around the island. With power still out around parts of the island (electricity was shut down as a safety measure) official damage reports are not yet available.
However, areas such as Montego Bay on the north side of the island missed the worst of the storm. According to Richard Whitfield, managing director of the Half Moon Montego Bay, the resort did not incur any structural damage, and no one was hurt. The property is operational, and guests began moving back into their rooms Monday afternoon. While Jamaica reported two deaths as of Monday, police could not confirm they were related to the hurricane, according to The Jamaica Gleaner. Dean's destruction comes just three years after Hurricane Ivan struck the region, killing 19 people, according to The Gleaner.
In preparation for the storm, Mexico began evacuating tens of thousands of tourists from Cancun and other areas along the Mayan Riviera over the weekend. Sharon Marsh, CMP, CMM, vendor relationship manager, global meeting solutions, for Cisco, was in Cancun for a conference and says the scene at the airport Sunday was pretty chaotic. "The lines at Delta and American were overwhelming."
Marsh says that although the hotel she was staying at left letters in guests' rooms suggesting they arrange to leave the area Sunday, "the hotel staff did not really communicate the risk well." In fact, she says, some attendees at the conference chose to stay in Cancun through Monday rather than evacuate.
"On Saturday, it was announced that the airport would close on Monday at noon. This got more people alarmed," says Marsh. However, many were unable change their flights on short notice, despite Delta and American adding additional flights out on Sunday.
The Cancun area is still recovering from the $3 billion damage it incurred in 2005 when Hurricane Wilma pummeled the area.

Woodland (33-2) will play the Tanner-Prattville Christian winner in the finals Friday at 9 a.m. in the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Complex. If Woodland wins, the Bobcats will bring home the school's first state title in any sport.
"This is something I've dreamed of my whole life," Leah Strain said. "Hopefully, we get it."
Woodland reached the finals two years ago and lost to Tanner. The school's football team was state runner-up in 2006, 2004, 1986 and 1968.
Leah and Shalyn Strain led the Bobcats in the first half of Tuesday's game. Leah scored 26 of Woodland's 41 points in the half, and Shalyn scored 12 on four 3-pointers as the Bobcats took a 41-34 lead at halftime.
Shanna found the mark in the second half, scoring 15 of her 18 points. She hit all three of her 3-pointers in the second half.
Shanna and Shalyn Strain combined to hit all seven of Woodland's 3-pointers.
Woodland took control in the third quarter. Shanna Strain's 3-pointer gave Woodland a 49-39 lead at 5:50, and the Bobcats led by double digits the rest of the way.
Woodland and cruised through the fourth, holding the ball for much of the final three minutes. An Amy Strain free throw gave the Bobcats their biggest lead at 71-52 with 39 seconds left.

SMR buys DVA arena
Date: April 23, 2009
by: Jen Blanco | Associate Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — After years of failed promises, missed payments and legal battles, the site of a stalled ice hockey arena project in Lakewood Ranch has a new owner.
During a foreclosure sale April 21 at the Annex of the new Manatee County Courthouse, Lakewood Ranch developer Schroeder-Manatee Ranch was granted ownership of the 60-acre site on Center Ice Parkway.
After representatives for Walbridge Aldinger, the company hired to construct the arena, failed to attend the sale, SMR bid $100 on the property and within a matter of minutes, the deal was done.
"It has been a long time coming, and we're looking forward to moving on with the project," said Dan Perka, general council for SMR.
However, while ownership has formally been changed to SMR with the court expected to issue a title in the next 10 days, the ongoing saga over the failed hockey arena may not be over.
Walbridge Aldinger recently filed an appeal against a summary judgment issued by Circuit Judge Paul E. Logan last year, which first gave SMR permission to hold a foreclosure sale on the arena.
On April 28, representatives for Walbridge Aldinger are expected to appear before the Second District Court of Appeals in Lakeland in an attempt to reverse the judge's ruling stating that DVA Arena owner Sal Diaz-Verson, who first filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July 2008, committed fraud. Walbridge Aldinger contends that dispute should have gone to trial.
If Walbridge-Aldinger were to win its appeal, then a trial would be held, Perka said. However, if their appeal were to be denied, then SMR would retain its current ownership. Plans for the future of the arena haven't been finalized yet.
SMR is expected to resume conversations with developers who have previously expressed interest in the project, but it could be several months before a deal could be reached.
In the meantime, the partially constructed hockey arena will remain in tact. Despite previous reports, SMR officials have not determined whether the structure would need to be torn down. Although SMR hasn't done any preliminary cost estimates, Perka said it shouldn't be expensive to demolish the concrete.
"That remains to be determined, but it's a good possibility due to the changes in building code," Perka said of demolishing the structure. "It will remain certainly for the near future (though) because there is no reason for us to rush in and tear it down."
Construction on the stalled hockey and entertainment arena began in early 2005, but work ceased after Walbridge Aldinger did not receive payments. Landmark Bank filed a claim to foreclose on the property in February 2006. SMR assumed the property in March of that year but had been unable to foreclose because DVA twice filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Former DVA Arena partners Chuck Madden and Larry Kish were on hand to witness the foreclosure sale, hoping to bring an end to years of failed promises by Diaz-Verson.
"It was neat — everybody was jumping at the idea because it was going to be something exciting and fun," Madden said. "It's unfortunate … it's like a funeral to some extent, but it'll still be a great project if someone takes it and goes forward with it."

Vince McMahon
Real Name
Vincent McMahon
Date of Birth
August 24, 1945
Place of Birth
"People always say, 'Oh, there haven't been many black champions,' but on the other hand, there are a whole lot of white people that never won a belt either. These days, I think it's less of a racial thing. I honestly believe that if you are able to entertain and interact with the crowd, it doesn't matter what ethnicity you may be. WWE will reward you." - Kofi Kingston discusses racism and backstage politics
March 26, 2014
As was the case with most other performers who portrayed a heel foreigner during the era, Ivan Koloff was not a Russian. He was actually born in Canada, and his real name is Oreal Perras. Prior to becoming a well known heel in the industry, Koloff portrayed yet another ethnicity. He was once known as Red McNulty, whose character was Irish.
February 25, 2014
ABC has a sitcom called the Goldbergs, and producers have a special wrestling themed episode coming up soon. Goldberg himself has been cast for the show, and he intends to do a tribute to the Ultimate Warrior on there. The former WCW champion even contacted Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon to get approval.
April 19, 2014
There are rumors going around that WWE has instructed their performers and former employees to avoid having any contact with Nancy Grace. Vince McMahon was said to be rather furious at how she handed the death of the Ultimate Warrior and how she blindsided Diamond Dallas Page. No official memo was sent out or anything, but word is spreading among the industry.
April 19, 2014
WWE has issued a statement touting the fact that a record number of households watched Wrestlemania 30 this year. That total comes from both the WWE Network and traditional pay per view buys. One of the reasons why Vince McMahon wanted to launch the online service was to draw in more people for the pay per view with the lower monthly pricing.
April 16, 2014
There has been a bit of a shift in philosophy backstage with Triple H taking over more of the power from Vince McMahon, as the former world heavyweight champion is more inclined to respond to internet wrestling fans by taking jabs through the story lines. For years, McMahon has long avoided any connection with fans online, but HHH likes sending messages to people who complain.
April 14, 2014
Since the company was not exactly pleased with the amount of subscribers that have already signed up, Vince McMahon and company are offering another free trial for the WWE Network. Management wants to get a lot closer to the one million mark before the year ends, so that they can tout the project as a success. A replay of Wrestlemania 30 is being included with the free trial.
April 14, 2014
When Vince McMahon decided to end the legendary winning streak at Wrestlemania 30, he knew it would be a tricky situation to pull off. WWE officials were said to be quite disappointed with how things turned out. They managed to shock the audience like they wanted to. However, they were hoping for a much better send off for Undertaker from the fans.
April 13, 2014
Some more details have been revealed about the shocking loss that the Undertaker suffered at Wrestlemania 30 to Brock Lesnar. While some are under the assumption that Undertaker made the decision, it was actually Vince McMahon who made that call. He informed Undertaker of his choice, and the legendary performer did not protest it, so it went through.
April 11, 2014
After the success of Wrestlemania 30 in New Orleans, WWE officials are looking forward to the next couple of years. Wrestlemania 31 is being held in San Francisco, a move that Vince McMahon strongly backs. Dallas is heavily rumored to get Wrestlemania 32 because of their new stadium. There are also talks that Wrestlemania 33 could be held in Ohio.
April 11, 2014
Since all the important monthly shows have been moved to the WWE Network, Vince McMahon and company have decided that they will no longer use the term "pay per view". Instead, WWE will be calling them "special events". PPV buy rate is no longer a vital thing for the company because they can now tell investors that the business has shifted to the WWE Network.
April 11, 2014
Earlier this week, Vince McMahon and company revealed that they had fewer than 700,000 subscribers for the WWE Network. Those numbers were lower than what investors expected, so many of them abandoned the company. That caused WWE stocks to plummets. Since Monday, the drop has been approximately 21%, as people do not feel as confident in the company now.
April 10, 2014
In a little known fact in professional wrestling, Bobby Heenan was originally scheduled to manage Jesse Ventura. Vince McMahon had lured him away from the AWA for that particular role. However, Ventura had blood clots in his lungs, which was due to his stint in the Vietnam War, and was forced to retire as an in ring performer. WWE moved Heenan on to other wrestlers.
April 10, 2014
An almost surreal picture of Vince McMahon hugging the Ultimate Warrior during Wrestlemania 30 weekend. The two have a long history of backstage heat, and many within the company felt that a reconciliation was never going to happen.
April 9, 2014
When word spread about the death of the Ultimate Warrior, one of the first people to make a public comment about the passing was none other than Vince McMahon, who famously butted heads with Warrior before reconciling with him recently. Here is the comment McMahon posted on Twitter about the passing of Warrior.
April 8, 2014
The Shorty Awards were handed out this week to companies that best handled their social media and social networking campaigns. Vince McMahon and company were able to take home three of those awards, including one for best YouTube channel. WWE was able to beat out Bleacher Report, MTV, VH1, Nike, Visa and Comedy Central for these awards.
April 8, 2014
Expect WWE to reveal final numbers for the big pay per view in the upcoming days. Many, including investors and shareholders, are looking forward to seeing what the Wrestlemania 30 revenue looks like. WWE broke the gate revenue for the Superdome already, so the belief is that Vince McMahon will have some impressive numbers to tout to the public.
April 8, 2014
Strategically, there are some concerns backstage in WWE on how Vince McMahon and the company would handle the Wrestlemania 30 replay rates. While it would make sense to appease WWE Network subscribers by making it readily available, there are those that are concerned that it might have an adverse effect on Wrestlemania 30 DVD and Blu Ray sales.
April 8, 2014
Since the monthly price for the WWE Network is so low, Vince McMahon and company are expecting a lot fewer people to look for Wrestlemania 30 download links online this year. The hope is that fans will simply just purchase the WWE Network and watch Wrestlemania 30 through there instead. Pay per view downloads have been a problem for the company for quite some time now.
April 8, 2014
In a sign of how much things have changed backstage, Vince McMahon actually left Wrestlemania 30 before the main event took place. Normally, the CEO would be there until the very end, but he opted to ride in the ambulance with the Undertaker to the hospital. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon were left in charge of the pay per view.
April 7, 2014
When the company gave away free trials of the WWE Network, there were a lot of concerns because of the amount of technical issues that were being reported. Vince McMahon put an emphasis on resolving those issues before Wrestlemania 30. Considering how smooth things went this past weekend, the CEO has to be quite pleased with the efforts of the technology side of the company.
April 7, 2014
As promised, Vince McMahon revealed the amount of subscribers that the WWE Network has amassed. After just six weeks of being launched, the online service has garnered 667,287 subscribers. WWE set a goal of acquiring a million subscribers for the Network before the end of 2014, and it looks like the company is well on their way of accomplishing that.

"We're calling it a transition series, or backward series, since the audience is facing backward to the hillside," said Pete Conroy, vice chairman for the series. "They are free concerts, but we're looking for donations from the public."
Saturday's performance will feature local acoustic musician Abby Parks. Steel drum group JAXPAN will perform May 21, jazz group TAD of Jazz will play May 28, and the Etowah Youth Orchestra will close out the series on June 11. The show on June 4 has not yet been announced. The door opens at 5 p.m. for all of the concerts, and the music runs from 6-8 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and food.
Space at the amphitheater is limited to about 150, Conroy said, but the venue will be open to full capacity — 2,000 seats — for next year. For more information, call 256-782-8010.

A survivor with a side of Tetanus
Before the wussification of America, things were made out of steel. Coal was dug out of the Pennsylvania ground and traveled by rail to huge mills in places like Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and other regions of the Midwest where it met up with iron ore mined from the Great Lakes area. It was loaded into open-hearth Bessemer blast furnaces and turned into shiny ribbons of steel to be molded and shaped into things like napkin dispensers, picnic coolers, kids' toys, and especially automobiles. They were solid, made to last the test of time, and gave no quarter for the sake of safety. If you jabbed yourself on a sharp corner or scratched your wittle finger, tough luck. That's the price you pay for durability. And that's why unlike most of the plastic crap that's pooped out of an extruding machine nowadays, these steel survivors are still kicking around today.
Adam Shultz found one of these steel survivors in farmer's field in rural Wisconsin. It had sat outside in the rustbelt and, although a little weathered, still has a lot of use to give. Shultz did a mechanical overhaul, added some stuff he had laying around to get it going, and the end product is just hard not to like. It's held together by rust, tech screws, bailing wire, ingenuity, and a big heaping of hope, but when we first saw it at the 2011 Easter Jeep Safari, we knew we wanted to shoot it. When we found it again with an equally dilapidated trailer at the 2012 Easter Jeep Safari, we laughed, shook our heads, and took a few more pictures.
Big tires? Nope. LS6 V-8 engine? Nope. Rollcage? Surely, you jest. But what it lacks in whiz-bang parts it more than makes up for with more character than a Benny Hill skit and a can-do attitude that allowed it to wheel all over Moab, Utah, two years running. In fact, the spec sheet reads like a what-not-to-do of vehicular repair. And kind of like listening to Howard Stern, we found ourselves just wanting to see what it said next: "Fuel tank = Jerrycan"; "Exhaust = flex tube-to-muffler found on a highway shoulder"; "other custom bodywork = custom-aged hickory tailgate." Sure, you might contract tetanus just by walking by it, but this little Jeep is a good time on wheels.
The stock frame is still present, despite trying to get away from the Jeep numerous times. When we first shot it, it was welded back together at about 18 different spots. That resulted in a somewhat goofy wheelbase spec with the driver-side wheelbase coming in around 81 inches and the passenger-side wheelbase measuring closer to 79 inches. This might be the reason why the tires rub in the rear on the passenger side. The front suspension has the stock rusty springs with newer shocks, while out back equally rusty rear stock springs are helped along with a pair of air-charged shocks good for about 11⁄2 inches of lift. The original body mount felting is long gone, so Adam has a whopping 1⁄4-inch body lift thanks to some 1⁄4-inch-thick rubber. As for skidplating, the factory shovel-shaped belly skid is there along with the factory grass shield on the driveshaft.
It all starts under the hood with a Kaiser Supersonic engine. It looks (and basically is) just like the flathead four-cylinder Go Devil Willys Overland produced, but was actually made by Kaiser from 1952-1954. Adam hand-honed the engine 0.020 inches over, ground the main journals on the crank 0.010 inches under, and had to go 0.020 inches over on the connecting rods. Once that was all done, it was reassembled with a set of Sealed Power bearings. A hand-honed, three-angle valve job got the valves sealing in the block again. Compression ratio is guesstimated at or near the stock 6.8:1 even though both the head and block had to be decked flat again. The little engine draws air through a Carter carb, the points still are the heart of the distributor, and exhaust exits through the factory exhaust manifold, some flex tube, and a 2-inch-diameter exhaust in front of the rear axle.
The first year we saw the Jeep, Adam had some issues with the transmission and since it was field-fresh, we weren't too surprised. For the second year we saw the Jeep, the factory T-90 three-speed and Spicer 18 with the 11⁄4-inch-diameter intermediate shaft and 2.46:1 low range were both rebuilt. Just as well too, considering that trailer the Jeep is now dragging around.
Power goes down to the factory rear Dana 44 through a freshly greased driveshaft. The rear axle is still spinning the stock 5.38 gears, but the spider gears have been welded up to create a poor man's spool. Up front the Dana 25 has a Lock-Right that must be hell to turn with that manual steering. Front and rear drum brakes got the once-over with new wheel cylinders and shoes and a set of N78 Buckshot Mudders put the power to the ground.

524 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9411037.764424 -122.422027
Mon-Thu 5:30pm-10pm; Sat 12pm-11pm; Sun 12pm-10pm
Neighborhoods: Central East, Mission
Citysearch Editorial Review – When a fire put beloved restaurant Limon out of commission for more than a year, rather than hanging his head in defeat, owner Martin Castillo sprang into action. First he went and opened Limon Rotisserie and it wasn't long before the mouthwatering, scrape-the-bones-to-get-every-last-bit-of-meat rotisserie chicken rose to fame. It also gave the chef the chance to pair up with Emmauel Piqueras, formerly of Azark, a three-star Michelin restaurant in Spain. The partnership has greatly influenced Limon's "new" menu, which brings in Spanish and Basque touches to its Peruvian-fusion fare. Don't worry, some of the old favorites are still there, but some standout newbies include the beautifully executed Lomo Saltado: tender strips of wok-tossed sirloin, lavished in a sumptuous soy-inspired sauce and topped with a bundle of neatly wrapped French fries. The interior continues to be a funky wash of bright colors preserves the original restaurant's sophisticated nightclub atmosphere.
This sleek winner in the Mission updates traditional Peruvian cuisine with sassy contemporary twists. – The Scene
Wallpaper-magazine sleek, with a bracing lime-green exterior and muted orange walls within, this spare, smallish space would be right at home in the hip enclaves of Barcelona or Stockholm. A mixture of well-dressed European types and stylishly scruffy Missionites swill sangria and keep the decibel level high.
The Food
Gorgeous appetizers set the tone for meat-centric, down-home, but nuanced entrees. To start, try the empanada Don Walter: tender chunks of beef, eggs and raisins in a blistery, crunchy crust and whole, perfectly steamed shrimp in a fishy romesco sauce. The lomo saltado--lean slices of beef with onions and tomatoes--is expertly seasoned and served aside a mound of fluffy rice to soak up the savory juices. The exceptionally hearty pork chop comes on an earthy bed of mushrooms, bacon and chopped potatoes. Desserts include truly sublime fruit ice cream flown in from Peru.
Very authentic S. American food – Fabulous chiccarones. This is the most consistent Latin restaurant I have been to in San Francisco. There's not a hint of Mexican influence and all South American and Caribbean! It's a wonderful exeperience. I had a great meal start to finish. It gets a bit busy and loud.
Que Rico! – I have had the pleasure of dining at this restraunt several times. I just love every dish they serve, not to say I've had them all, but ALMOST. My ultimate favorite is the Chuleta (Pork chop) and the Ceviches (any one of the several they serve). The touch of Peru in present in every single dish they serve. The staff is great and although it's a small establishment they do all they can to accommodate the people. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, this place is hot. Call for a reservation and try to have at least 3 people---they don't take reservations for 2 on the weekends---or go for an early dinner at 5 p.m.
Terrible experience – Not worth the effort! After waiting for a table for over an hour, we returned to the restaurant. Having been told we were guaranteed a table, we arrived 6 minutes late. We were then told (by a very unsympathetic hostess) that the restaurant gives away tables after five minutes. They could have told us this when they "guaranteed" our table. We'll never go back.
Slacking off. . . – Success has gone to Limon's head. The waits are long (we had to negotiate with the hostess to get seated AT our reservation time), the food disappointingly mediocre, and the service sporadic and nonchalant. We ordered chicken apps that tasted like KFC's best, a paella-like dish that wouldn't pass muster in a school cafeteria, and a boulliabaise that made us weep with grief at the money we were wasting. On top of that, the "waiting room" is the sidewalk.
Great find! – We stumbled across this restaurant accidently (walked by around 6pm on a weekday and their menu looked interesting) and I still can't believe how much we lucked out finding this place! The service was great and the food was fabulous! I really enjoyed the mixed seafood ceviche and the mussels with the coconut saffron sauce. The portions were huge- we couldn't believe our bill after we got so much food! Can't wait to go back!
Wonderful Peruvian Food – This place is a gem! The menu selection was great The food is terrific. And the staff was relatively accomodating. Strongly recommend the Ceviche Limon, the Chicharron, Calamares, and the Ahi Tuna Tartare to start with. The Bouillabaise was also amazing-- as the seafood was very fresh and the tomato base broth light and pleasing. The chocolate mousse and peach bread pudding can be great endings to a wonderful meal. Also-- the Sangria is one to try. The wine list is lacking but the $10 corkage fee makes up for it.
another great Mission restaurant! – not to be missed! the food is very fresh and affordable. i had the seafood paella and it was loaded with flavor and tons of seafood. the service is also very friendly and totally makes it feel like a neighborhood restaurant. the only negative comment is that the space has all hard surfaces and it's really small which makes the room really loud so come with one person cause you'll never be able to have a group conversation.
good, but overly hyped – Considering the amount of press Limon has received we decided to wait a few months before trying it. The food was good, but the defeaning noise and pushy service made for a rushed and exhausting meal. Calamari were good and the little empanda-like pockets were delicious, but the ceviche was so acidic I had to stop halfway through because I couldn't taste anything anymore. Probably wont' return unless service turns around and more care is taken with the food.

In response to dezaruchi's comment:
Playing the off wing is easy for any player that's comfortable receiving passes on the backhand side of their blade. Other than that, it should create better scoring opportunities because you come into the zone with the puck towards the slot if you've got it on your forehand. Far better shooting angle.

My guess would be that a defenseman is next.
After all, the organization is loaded with defenseman now.
I am starting to like the moves PC has started in re shaping this team , not only for the here and now , but for future success..hope there is more to come?

In response to Don-Bruino's comment:
Chowda, it's not a prediction. It's a predicament. And you others jump to conclusions without reading and trying to comprehend what has been written.
PC has put himself a position where he can't afford to have Ericksson fail. That will mean a move back to left wing will be necessary. And then we will likely see one or the other (Marchand or Lucic) moved to facilitate this.
PC could wind up in a position where he will see this as a way to save his job.
I know I'm thinking too far ahead, but I am not the type that waits for scenarios to happen. I plan ahead (must be my accounting background).
Another scenario could be that Ericksson takes to the right like a duck to water and scores 40 in each of the next three years - that would be ideal.
[/QUOTE]How is it a predicament ? Eriksson has played RW and has done a pretty damn good job of doing it. Apparently, you don't get that or refuse to acknowledge it. If any type of failure occurs with his play it won't be because of the position he's playing, it will be because of his performance level.Did Julien switch the left handed shooting RW Jagr to the left side because of his inability to score in the playoffs ? No, because what position he played had nothing to do with failing to score. He has played that position since his mullet days and scored a ton of goals.P.S. Your scenarios sure as hell sounds like predicting the future to me.

If next summer the cap only goes up $2M then yes PC has to make a choice between Seidenberg and Boychuk. If it goes up $4M then he might keep both. Krug's, Hamilton and Barkowski's success might make departures quicker.

I still say it's pretty stupid to deal a guy like Marchand who is on a very very team friendly deal for what he brings to the table. It isn't 4H club. You can have some 24H party people.
Are you not entertained?!?!

I would say that the fact that Seguin and Horton are gone, not Marchand, is an almost airtight testiment to that fact that the Bruins have made their choices and want Marchand around. I still see no reason to think that they are planning to unload more top 6 forwards.
The storm is over. What's there now is there for a reason. Iginla is there for one year. Marchand is sticking around.
And I have seen many accounts of Eriksson saying how comfortable he is on the RW and is looking forward to being there. He has been a guy who plays either wing his whole career, just has more experience on the left so far.

It always depends on the return but I agree. He is a pest with talent. A lot of the reason for the Bruins success is that they have had a good combination of skill and sandpaper. He brings both as do guys like Lucic, Chara and Boychuk. They have already lost Ference who I think brought some of both as well.

I think Marchand stays for reasons most of you have mentioned. Great bang for the buck- can't replace him at that $$ and the weak spots in the roster that you could fill by trading him wouldn't make up for the bigger hole at left wing with Marchand gone. The Bruins have a window that is closing so they want to win now but they won't make the mistakes the Leafs(Fergusonjr.) made and overpay everyone to keep them around to take another shot, then another and . . . . cap hell. I like Red's idea- go with this roster and let the kids, yeti, et.al fight it out for the last spots.

It would not be far fetched for a compliance buyout of Chara after 2013-14.
That sounds terrible. But honestly at age 37 after next season with 4 yrs and 25Mil + remaining, I guess it is possible. It would take an epic decline this season for them to consider such a move in my opinion.

Will not happen. The Don has joined the troll guesswork on this. Chiarelli has adjusted very well and improved this team first and second lines solid. Third line of Paille, Kelly, could be adjusted since Soderberg is a center. Campbell needs to recover from his broken leg. With the comments we've read on Morrow and Fraser, they both might make the team, although morrow may need a year in Prov. to understand/learn Claude's expectations for a defenseman. Hopefully this is the season they make Thornton a full-time P.R. guy and give Fraser and possibly Spooner a shot. Training camp should be fun. I too would like to see Boychuck replaced by someone with more smarts. Both krug and Hamilton's wristers are much more accurate than Boychuck's slapper, and their ice awareness [ add in Bartkowski] is more consistent. If Morrow is as good as our bloggers say, Providence also will benefit.

It appears that Don was on to something here because it is now being reported that both Marchand and Kelly are both being shopped.
If this does come to pass, then I guess we can officially say that the Bruins decided to rebuild a team that was 2 games away from winning a Cup...interesting stuff, but it would all come down to who was acquired in the deals for these guys that would dictate if the team is closer or further from winning another Cup.

[/QUOTE]Am I the only one who isn't entirely comfortable with Hamilton/Krug/Bartkowski as the Bruins 5/6/7 D? Yeah they played well in the playoffs but sometimes rookies play well for a spurt and come back to earth. Add in a couple injuries to the defense next season and....
As far as Boychuk and Seidenbergs cap hits: After looking around on CapGeek at other defensemens salaries, I would conclude that Seids is a steal and Boychuk is on target. Also, the Bruins pay very little for their defense compared to other teams.
I think if any D is traded, it will be Krug or Bartkowski while their stock is high, a la Kampfer, Hunwick (remember his scoring breakout when he was called up? Hows he doing now?).

how long will we allow economic analysts who've been wrong for the past 30+ years to continue to guide economic policy, delivering these so-called "jobless recoveries" that actually HURT the vast majority of people?
and how many times do Krugman, Stiglitz, and others have to be proven correct in their analyses before their advice will be taken???
One wonders what would be the narrative 2013 give the tale of 2012:
There is no recovery. The world economy is slowing. It in a blind alley filled with piles of printed money. The Virtual economy inflates balloons because it disturbed the balance productivity-wages, accumulation-consumption.

I had a leak between the tee and the pipe. I decided to replace it, bougtht a new tee. Still leaking.
This is one solid pipe, not 2 ends spliced together. It has a hole in it and the tee is made from 2 halves (top and bottom). I simply fitted it onto the pipe and tightened the nuts.
This could be a very basic issue.
Am I supposed to seal with something between the pipe and the tee somehow?
It's leaking quite a bit, not just dripping.
thank you.

The nation needs the automatic government spending cuts, known as the "sequester," to trigger as scheduled next month, because that's the best chance to ever reduce defense spending, former DNC chairman Howard Dean told CNBC on Monday.
"There is some stuff in there that I as a Democrat don't like," Dean said in a "Squawk Box" interview. "But I think everybody's going to put something in the pot in order to balance the deficit."
He added, "There's not going to be any opportunity to cut Pentagon spending in any serious way, if you don't go over the 'sequester' cliff."
Paul McCulley, former Pimco managing director, agreed with Dean. "Going over the 'sequester cliff' may be the only way to get the defense budget clearly on the table," he said on "Squawk Box" Monday. "[It] needs to be on the table."
(Read More: Sequester Won't Keep Investors From Stocks: Analysts)
McCulley, now chairman of the Global Interdependence Center, also predicted that triggering the spending cuts would not be a disaster for the stock market. "I think we'd have some skittishness in the marketplace. But it doesn't fundamentally change matters."
The across-the-board spending cuts are designed to force savings of $1.2 trillion through 2021. That means for this year, and every year after that, about $55 billion would be cut from defense spending and about $55 billion of reductions would come from non-defense spending.
(Read More: Sequestration - CNBC Explains)
President Barack Obama and Republicans leaders are working on a package to replace the automatic cuts. But the president wants more revenue by closing tax loopholes, and the GOP wants to talk spending cuts since the compromise last month to avoid "fiscal cliff" was mostly tax increases.
Dean advocated going over the "sequester cliff" now, just as he had pushed for going off the "fiscal cliff" at the beginning of the year.
(Read More: Sequester Is 'Terrible, Terrible' Legislation: Rubin)
He said, "I don't think [tax rates] should go higher, on the high end," which was defined in the January deal as individuals making more than $400,000. "[But] I've always said 'if you want Bill Clinton's economy, you've got to pay Bill Clinton's taxes.'"
"Republicans won the fight in January they just don't know it," Dean said. "Washington is upside down."
(Read More: Eastwood: If DC Doesn't 'Give a Damn,' How Can We?)
"The Republicans won an enormous victory. They stabilized taxes for middle class people at the Bush tax rates for everybody below $400,000."
He argued, "We did a lousy job in January on the tax side … I think it's better to go over the 'sequester' cliff then do a lousy job in February."

The June fundraising puts the Republican governor more than half a million dollars ahead of his only declared primary opponent, while a Democratic challenger has yet to emerge.
"An incumbent with this much money will be a formidable opponent," said political scientist Glen Browder, a former Democratic Congressman who serves as emeritus professor of political science at Jacksonville State University.
Fundraising for the 2014 governor's race opened in June, one year from the date of primary voting for statewide races. So far, Bentley is the only candidate for governor to file a finance report for that time.
Records show Bentley raising $442,500, adding to the $236,671 already in his war chest. The governor's biggest donor was T-Town PAC II, a political action committee funded largely by construction and paving companies. The PAC gave Bentley $63,000 in June.
The governor spent $114,293 on administrative costs, advertising and polling in June, leaving him with $544,877.
Bentley has a sizable lead in the money race over any of his potential opponents. Former Morgan County Commissioner Stacy George, who has announced his intention to run against Bentley in the primary, didn't file a report. Candidates for governor aren't required to file reports until they've raised $25,000.
State school board member and Huntsville resident Mary Scott Hunter is also considering a run for governor, according to the Associated Press. State records show her still in the school board race for 2014, with $15,000 raised toward that race in June.
Bentley's campaign treasurer, Michael Echols, said the Bentley campaign was pleased with fundraising so far. He said it's far too early to tell whether the governor will maintain a fundraising lead throughout the race.
"These races can run up to several million dollars before they're over," he said. "So half a million is not that far ahead."
Democrats have yet to field a candidate in the race. In fact, campaign finance records show only one Democrat, state auditor candidate Miranda Joseph, in the running for a statewide office so far.
Attempts to reach Alabama Democratic Party Chairwoman Nancy Worley for comment Friday were unsuccessful.
In the 2010 race, the Democratic field filled up faster, with then-U.S. Rep. Artur Davis and then-Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks both announcing their candidacies by July 2009. Davis left the state and switched to the Republican Party after losing the Democratic nomination to Sparks; Sparks now works for Bentley as director of rural development.
The man at the top of the statewide ticket for Democrats in 2012 said he has no plan for a gubernatorial run.
"I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that I have no intention to run for governor," said Jefferson County Circuit Judge Robert Vance, who mounted an unsuccessful bid for chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court last year.
Vance said the law doesn't allow sitting judges to run in non-judicial races, which would mean a run for governor would require him to resign from the bench.
Attempts to reach state House Minority Leader Craig Ford, D-Gadsden, were unsuccessful Friday. Ford has told reporters in the past that he might consider a run for governor.
"I suspect that someone will step forward soon," Vance said of the Democratic field. "But that person will have a tough row to hoe."
Republicans now hold all of Alabama's statewide constitutional offices. The statewide Democratic party may not be in a strong position to offer campaign financing help candidates for those offices. State records show that the State Democratic Executive Committee has $2,834 in its war chest.
Browder, the political scientist, said it's inevitable that a Democratic candidate will emerge. Bentley's early fundraising lead, he said, could influence Republican challengers looking to face Bentley in the primary.
"If I'm a potential candidate looking to unseat an incumbent, that money is going to make me think long and hard," he said.

Major League Baseball Draft Central
DAHLONEGA, GA – North Georgia baseball catcher Troy Snitker has been selected in the 19th round with the 596th overall pick by the Atlanta Braves in the 2011 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
"We couldn't be happier for Troy and his family," head coach Tom Cantrell said Tuesday evening following the selection. "It has been a pleasure to have Troy as member of the North Georgia baseball program over the last two years and we wish him well with the Atlanta Braves."
Snitker becomes the highest MLB Draft pick in the history of the North Georgia baseball program, and third selection in the last two years for Cantrell and the Saints.
As a Second-Team Peach Belt All-Conference performer in 2011, Snitker was the most consistent hitter for the Saints all season long with a .340 batting average and 44 runs batted in. He belted a team-leading six home runs, added 12 doubles, and scored 32 runs.
Behind the plate, Snitker established himself as one of the most feared arms at the NCAA Division II level in 2011, throwing out 25 base stealers and picking off 11 more. He had a .986 fielding percentage as he played and started in all 54 games for the Saints.
Snitker will be right at home with the Braves after growing up in the Atlanta area and attending Brookwood High School where he led the Broncos to four straight playoff births, including a "Final Four" appearance during the 2007 season.
After attending South Georgia College out of high school, Snitker made his way to North Georgia and played two seasons for the Saints, hitting 12 home runs and adding 33 doubles and 84 runs batted in.
Snitker is the seventh player taken in the Major League Baseball Draft from North Georgia, as the program has had players drafted in 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010, and now in 2011. The Saints have sent three players to the MLB Draft in the last two years after Daniel Petitti (Oakland Athletics) and Chris Rearick (Tampa Rays) were taken during the 2010 draft.
Sean Pittman was selected during the 2001 draft by the New York Mets, while Kevin Bulger was taken during the 2005 MLB Draft in the 25th round by the Kansas City Royals. Stephen Flake was selected in 2007 by the Florida Marlins in the 34 round, and Rob Flanigan, who was the previous highest pick in school history, was taken in 2008 by the San Francisco Giants in the 29th round.

Help protect your family's financial future with term life insurance. You can help make sure your loved ones are financially secure, and it doesn't have to be expensive. Term life insurance provides dependable, low-cost protection for a specified period of time, and the payment amounts don't change for the guaranteed premium period.
Compare types of term life insurance
For most people, the primary reason to purchase life insurance is to help provide for dependents in the case of your death and the resulting loss of income. To determine a coverage amount, estimate what your family members would need after you're gone to meet immediate, ongoing, and future financial obligations including funeral, rent or mortgage, other every day bills, college, and retirement.
Then, add up the resources your surviving family members could draw upon to support themselves, such as a spouse's income, accumulated savings, and life insurance you may already own. The difference between the two is your need for additional life insurance.
Finally, use this side-by-side guide to compare the different types of term life insurance to help you decide which policy works for you.

Simplified term life insurance
What is simplified term life insurance?
Simplified term life insurance is just that — simple. No medical exam is required. You just need to answer a few health questions. Coverage starts immediately if you qualify. Because Simplified Term Life insurance is issued with only limited medical information the policy costs are typically higher and certain restrictions generally apply. Those willing to undergo more extensive medical testing may benefit from fully underwritten term life.
Simplified term life insurance is provided by Great-West FinancialSM , our chosen online simplified term life insurance provider.
Simple to qualify
- 18-60 years old and no health problems
- No medical exam, just a few health questions
- Coverage starts immediately if you qualify

Term life insurance
Term life insurance is provided through Life Insurance Central® , the agency we have chosen to help you understand how much coverage you might need, compare term life quotes from multiple insurance companies, and purchase a policy.
With fully underwritten term life insurance, your rates are lower and available coverage amounts are higher than with simplified term life insurance. Amounts range from $100,000 to $1 million and coverage terms range from 10 to 30 years. And fully underwritten term life insurance requires a more thorough process to qualify, including a medical exam.
The medical exam helps underwriters determine how much to charge for your term life policy, so the cost of your term life insurance may vary depending on your health.
Customizable term life options
- Coverage amounts ranging from $100,000 to more than $1 million
- Coverage terms of 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years
- Lower premiums than other life insurance options, including simplified term life
Or, call a Life Insurance Central agent at 1-888-915-8376 ext. 7000 Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Central Time.
Life insurance questions
What is term life insurance?
The "term" in term life insurance refers to the period of time you want to keep continuous coverage without the risk of an increased premium. The full value of the policy is paid to the person or beneficiary you choose if you die during the plan's term. Terms are usually between 10 to 30 years.
I already have life insurance through my employer. Why do I need more?
Group life insurance coverage provided by your employer is a great benefit, but may not provide enough protection for your family, and you may not be able to keep your coverage if you change jobs. By comparing quotes and the different types of term life policies available, you'll see how much additional life insurance you can obtain within your budget to protect your loved ones.
Is there a waiting period before the term life insurance policy goes into effect?
Term life insurance policies require medical exams, so the approval process can take six to eight weeks. However, once your life insurance policy is in force, there is no waiting period. Policies have some exceptions, so be sure you understand them before purchasing a policy.
Can the company cancel my coverage if I get sick after my term life insurance policy is in effect?
Term life insurance coverage cannot be canceled as long as premiums are paid according to policy specifications.
How much coverage should I purchase?
In most cases, if you have no dependents and have enough money to pay your final expenses, you may not need life insurance.
If you have dependents, consider buying enough life insurance so that, when combined with other sources of income, it will replace the income you now generate for them. Here are some additional things to keep in mind as you make your decision:
- How many children do you have and how old are they?
- Who primarily cares for your children? Would that change after your death?
- Do you already have college funds and retirement savings?
- Does your spouse work? Would that change after your death?
- What will it cost to pay off your home mortgage and other debt?
- What will it cost for your family to maintain its lifestyle?
What types of payment plans are offered?
For simplified term life insurance, you can choose to have your payments automatically deducted from your bank account or choose from monthly or annual credit card payments.
For term life insurance, a variety of payment options are available, including having your payments automatically deducted from your bank account, monthly or annual credit card payments, and direct bill. Options vary by insurance company.
How long can I keep my coverage?
The length of your life insurance coverage is based on the policy's term. For example, if you purchase a 10-year plan, you are covered for 10 years as long as your premiums are paid.
Rates are guaranteed during the term period selected, but life insurance coverage may be available beyond the initial term length at increased premiums. Term life insurance is not available to people over age 80.

If you have questions about your simplified term life insurance policy, please call Great-West FinancialSM at 1-800-222-9197 Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time.

Have You Thought About This?
You know, many times we get so caught up with life's obligations that we forget where we are going to begin with. What I mean is this…
Many times we forget to plan for our future. You know, when we are too old to work and generate income. We get so caught up doing 'busy work' on a daily basis that we don't take time to plan out our "exit strategy", as Robert Kiyosaki likes to say. In other words, we work, we pay bills, and before we know it we can no longer work and are now dependant on others.
Over a decade ago, I use to work as a cna in a nursing home/hospice facility. Being in that place made me think of where I'd end up once I was too old to take care of myself. I thought to myself, "Is this really where we end up?" "Is this really how it all ends?" In speaking with many of the residents, I got to know a lot about them. They would share stories with me about what they did, about their kids, and about their life in general.
The interesting thing is, their stories aren't any different than that of my family, friends, and acquaintances. We all share the same fait. All who are born are bound to one day return to whence we came. All that matters is how we lived, and what impact we made. And since we all share the same fait, why not spend some time planning for our inevitable demise. It's tough to thing about it, but let's face it, name one person who has lived since the beginning of mankind.
The smart thing to do is plan on how we want to live by the time we can no longer work and make a living. Do you want to end up in a nursing home during your last days? Or do you want to be at home being taken care of?
In today's world, a social security check will not suffice. Gas, food, and everyday living expenses are rising in prices, but social security checks aren't keeping up at an even rate. Personally I've seen a huge rise in food prices here in St. George, Utah. But employment wages are not rising, meaning that the working class is buying the same amount of food for more money and less of their money going into an IRA/retirement account. They are scrapping by. These are my friends, family, and acquaintances.
What are we going to do once we can't work and make a living? Collect a check from the government? Where will we live? How will we live? Will we be comfortable or will we be grouchy, miserable old people?
The smart thing to do is plan. Realizing that we must do what we need to do to pay our bills and take care of our families, while at the same time planning our future. If you're reading this right now, it means you're a smart business man/woman. And you probably already have an exit strategy. You probably have a nice stash of cash creating income for you while you sleep. And it is people like you that I admire. Others don't have a plan. And if you can think of anyone who needs help with generating extra income to create an exit strategy, have them visit THIS SITE and we will show them how to create abundance using only the internet, right from their home, and build a plan that will allow them to live out their lives as they choose.
Until next time.
